Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Examination Program

This is a targeted examination program designed to assess kidney function and the body's condition in suspected or diagnosed chronic kidney disease. The tests are selected to help monitor the course of the disease, assess electrolyte balance, inflammation, nitrogen compound accumulation, and possible complications.

When is it worth doing this examination program?

• When symptoms appear: persistent fatigue, nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite, skin itching, increased blood pressure, swollen limbs, or changed urine color and quantity.
• In diagnosed kidney disease – to assess its progression.
• Prophylactically – in diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular diseases.
• Monitoring the effectiveness of treatment and adjusting diet and medication use.
• Monitoring electrolyte balance and inflammatory processes in the body.

Why choose this examination program?

• Helps to early recognize CKD signs and track its course.
• Covers the most important indicators assessing kidney function, electrolyte balance, and inflammation.
• Useful not only for patients with kidney diseases but also for those at risk of developing them.
• Helps doctors make decisions regarding treatment or lifestyle adjustments.

What does this examination program help to determine?

• Magnesium (Mg) – an important electrolyte, whose balance is disrupted in kidney diseases.
• Calcium (Ca) – often decreases due to vitamin D deficiency or phosphorus accumulation in kidney insufficiency.
• Phosphorus (P) – increased levels are a common CKD sign, associated with bone and vascular complications.
• Urea (UREA) – a nitrogen compound whose concentration increases when the kidneys can no longer eliminate it.
• Creatinine (CREA) – one of the main indicators of kidney function, used to assess glomerular filtration rate.
• Urine test – helps to determine proteins, blood, nitrites, leukocytes, or other pathologies in the urine.
• C-reactive protein (CRP) – an inflammation marker that may be increased due to kidney diseases or their complications.
• Complete blood count – allows evaluation of anemia, infectious processes, possible erythropoiesis disorder.
• Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) – an enzyme that can help assess tissue damage and systemic disorders.
